FSU LB Nigel Carr hit with five felony charges

The news regarding the arrest of Florida State linebacker Nigel Carr has gone from bad to extreme uh-oh in a matter of hours.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Carr has been charged with five felonies in connection to a pair of robberies near Doak Campbell Stadium over the weekend. The felony charges include two counts of burglary of a structure, one count of property damage, one count of theft of a credit card and one count of fraud.

Here’s the Sentinel‘s version of how Carr allegedly spent his weekend:

-A female’s white Toyota SUV was broken into on Sunday off Hayden Road, across the street from Doak Campbell Stadium. Missing from the vehicle: a “book bag,” according to police, containing a purse and other items. Carr is the suspect in the burglary. Police say Carr threw some of the contents he allegedly stole into a dumpster. But that he kept the victim’s credit card. And that he kept a piece of paper with the name of the victim’s father and his credit card number written on it. Those two items, police say, were found in a white sedan Carr allegedly drives.

-Further, police say Carr is the suspect in another car burglary. This one allegedly happened on Saturday. In that alleged burglary, a checkbook went missing from the car. That checkbook was discovered near the same dumpster where the “first” victim - the one whose white Toyota SUV was allegedly broken into - found some of her belongings. There are other items allegedly missing from the “second” victim’s vehicle. Police say it believes those items are in Carr’s residence.

Surveillance video shows a person matching Carr’s description tossing items belonging to the owner of the SUV into a nearby dumpster.

Per school policy, Carr has been suspended indefinitely due to the felony charges. Head coach Jimbo Fisher is aware of the situation but had little to say about what the future may hold for Carr.

“He had been doing great.” Fisher told the paper. “And we’ll just, like I say, we’re going to wait and let the courts run [the case]. I’m not going to make any statements about him ... if it’s a felony, then he’ll be suspended. That’s school policy. And then we’ll let it run its course and see where that takes us. Then we’ll comment on it after that.”
